Altoona Tribune, Wednesday Morning, May 22, 1918, page 1 ALTOONA WORKERS HOLDING IT UP First Day's Returns Good - Distinguished Australian Coming to Mass Meeting Thursday - Liberty Bonds, Not Stamps Accepted Red Cross captains and solicitors were hard at work yesterday and are very optimistic as to the results of the drive. At the noon luncheon, only a few of the teams were able to give figures, because the work had only gotten well under way, but a total of $4,656.25 was reported as follows: First ward, Captain Swengle, $2,200; Third ward, Captain Bergman, $2,102.75; Eighth ward, Captain Tillard, $128; Logan township, Second district, Captain Post, $182; Logan township, Fifth district, Captain Kelchner, $43.50. Reports of yesterday's work will come in this morning from the branches and city teams and not until then will the real results be shown. Some interesting notes from headquarters are appended: WORKERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC A very enthusiastic meeting of the Team Captains and workers of the twelve wards in Altoona was held at a luncheon at Caum's at 12.15 noon, Tuesday, May 21, 1918, which was addressed by Mr. Oliver Rothert and Rev. F. Dean Miller and reports from the ward Captains read. Mr. Rothert gave a very timely talk to the assembly and urged them to make this the biggest campaign for Red Cross work that has ever been held in the county. Rev. Miller detailed the workings of the American Red Cross and the good it is doing, not only abroad, but in this country and locally; calling attention to the fact that the giving or more than one million dollars to Italy during their recent retreat some months ago, did more to restore the morale of the Italian army than any other single thing. He also mentioned the suffering that has been alleviated in our own midst upon the part of families whose dependents had gone to the front.

Zook, Rep. 595 FIREWORKS TO BE UNDER BAN ON THE FOURTH City Council Passes Ordinance Prohibiting Their Sale and Use in City DISSENTING VOTES ARE RECORDED The Fourth of July in Altoona will not be celebrated this year with a display of pyrotechnics for city council yesterday afternoon adopted the ordinance, which has been under consideration for several weeks, that places a ban on their sale and use of fireworks in the city. The ordinance was not passed unanimously for there were two dissenting votes, the first to be recorded in taking action on any legislation since the new council went into office. The consideration of the fireworks ordinance was the last matter of business to come before the body and for a time it looked as though it might be sidetracked. After some little discussion on the celebration of the Fourth with fireworks, the action of other cities in placing a ban on their sale and use Commissioner Westfall moved for the adoption of the ordinance. Commissioner Lafferty was the seconder. Mayor Charles Rhodes spoke in favor of allowing the sale of fireworks as did also Commissioner Stevens. They both put little credence into the vote of the school children. Mr. Stevens stated that he had visited both Bartle's and Watson's and found that they both had a supply of small fireworks on hand. Messrs. Westfall and Cassidy believed that the school children were sincere in their stand for the adoption of the ordinance. The latter related how his little 10-year-old girl had informed him that in her school room, a new teacher took the vote, that there was but one boy that wanted fire works while the other desired to invest their money in war stamps to help win the war. Mr. Lafferty also favored the adoption of the ordinance for the reason of safety to people. A vote was taken and the ordinance passed by the following vote, Yea, Cassidy, Lafferty, Westfall; nay, Rhodes and Stevens. CITY COUNCIL MOVES TOWARD MOTORIZATION City Manager Hinkle Will Get prices on Two Pieces of Motor Apparatus FIRE ENGINES IN POOR CONDITION Altoona's fire fighting apparatus is not up to standard, some of the fire engines are obsolete and practically unfit for service and new equipment is needed was practically what City Manager Hinkle informed city council yesterday afternoon and that something should be done to increase the efficiency of the department as quickly as possible. Council acted quickly and the city manager was authorized to secure prices on a triple combination motor driven pumping engine and one service truck. (Continued on page 8) AN OLD TIME LAND SLIDE FOR SPROUL ...Altoona and Blair county yesterday expressed by the ballot that they favored the adoption of the prohibition amendment to the constitution of the United States. Fifty three of the eighty-nine districts show conclusively that the dry candidates were the winners. Altoona's expression is definite, for it voted decisively for the recognized dry candidates. J. Denny O'Neil for the gubernatorial nomination on the Republican ticked carried Altoona over Sproul by more than 200 votes. E. E. Beidleman bested John R. K. Scott by more than 400. For state senate Plymouth M. Snyder carried the city over Thomas J. Forbes, by 236 votes. Fred A. Bell, for general assembly, won over Brenneman by a plurality of more than 400 votes. Hartsock the third man in the race for general assembly received by 480 votes. W. S. Aaron, a candidate for congress at large had a handsome vote in the city, receiving 2627. These figures ran away ahead of any other candidates. John M. Rose, for congress, received 3086 votes in the city and this practically gives the Republican vote polled. The contest for state committeeman was a three cornered one, but the real contestants were H. C. Prutzman and Howard M. Sell, the former was the winner by a majority of 800. VOTE IN THE COUNTY The Republican vote in the county was just about half normal but those who voted favored national prohibition. Their choice for nominees as expressed in twenty-four districts is O'Neil, for governor; Beidleman for lieutenant governor; Paul W. Houck, for secretary of internal affairs; Plymouth W. Snyder, for state senate. The greatest interest was possibly centered in the legislative fight. There was never any doubt about Mr. Snyder besting Thomas J. Forbes for (Continued on page 10) Altoona Tribune, Wednesday Morning, May 22, 1918, page 2 HOLLIDAYSBURG PEOPLE COMING AND GOING Mr. and Mrs. Archie C. Claar, well known residents of Freedom township, were pleasant visitors in the county capital yesterday. D.

He attended the funeral of a brother in the Flood City, the brother having been run down by an automobile and killed. Mrs. Fred Confer, of Johnstown, is spending a few days at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Blackburn, on Penn street. DRAFT BOARD NO. 1 NOTES Word was received yesterday morning at Hollidaysburg by County Draft Board No. 1, of the appointment of W. Lovell Baldrige of Hollidaysburg as a member of the board to succeed ex-Sheriff Harry Holland, who was recently commissioned a captain in the remount division in the U.S. Army. A meeting of the board was immediately held at the office of the secretary, Robert W. Smith, Esq., at which Mr. Baldrige was inducted into office, after which he was elected as chairman of the board. He will preside at the exercises to be held at the court house on Tuesday afternoon for the fifty young men of the district who will leave for Camp Lee on that day. Instructions were also received yesterday by the board to specially induct twenty-five men into the service, to be sent to Columbus, Ohio. They will be selected in a few days and will leave the latter part of next week. Letters were received from Walter H. Slippey, who was captain of the contingent of locomotive engineers sent last week to Fort Benjamin Harrison, and John H. Walker, who captained the colored section sent to Fort Wayne; stating that both contingents had arrived safely with all in the best of health and spirits. It was decided by the board yesterday, to conduct the registration on June 5, of all the youths who have arrived at the age of 21, since last June 5, at the local court house. It is expected there will be about 250 young men from the seven towns and twelve townships included in the district, and all will have to go to Hollidaysburg on that day to register. The board also received orders regarding the war department's urgent need of skilled telegraphers, gas plant workers, wagonmakers, airbrake inspectors, boilermakers and helpers, railroad care inspectors, veterinarians, wheelwrights, and colored bricklayers. So urgent is the need that instructions were given that these men should be taken from classes 1, 2 and 3. OBITUARY RECORD David Blair Lindsay. David Blair Lindsay, one of Hollidaysburg's best known and highly respected residents, died last evening at 7:30 o'clock, at his home, 533 East Hickory street, of a complication of diseases, after a long illness, during which he was a patient sufferer. For a number of years he had been afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism, but by reason of his great will power, was able to go almost daily to his work, until last May, when he was knocked down by two horses attached to a milk wagon, while waiting for a street car at the corner of Penn and Hickory streets. He had been bedfast ever since the accident, and other complications set in, causing him to suffer the most excrutiating pain, which he bore with the greatest fortitude to the end. Mr. Lindsay was a son of the late Robert and Catherine Lindsay, of Hollidaysburg, and was born here on October 15, 1854, having lived his whole lifetime in Hollidaysburg, with the exception of a few years. He graduated from the local public schools and went to Duff's business college at Pittsburg in 1874, where he took a thorough business course. After finishing there, he took a position with J. D. Brend & Co., wholesale milliners of Pittsburg. A few years later, he returned to Hollidaysburg and was employed for some time at the Adams Express office, leaving there in 1875 and entering the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad company at Altoona as a clerk in the motive power department under Superintendent E. Neely. While employed here he operated the first electric pen that was ever used in the railroad offices. On September 1, 1882, he embarked in the grocery business at Hollidaysburg. In 1884 on account of the business panic, he went out of business and entered the register and recorder's office, where he remained until January 1, 1890, when he entered the county commissioners' office as clerk, where he remained until being compelled to give up work by reason of being injured as told of above. Mr. Lindsay was one of the best clerks in the county and was especially valuable in the commissioners' office, on account of his complete knowledge of the duties of the office. He was an expert penman, possibly having no equal in the state as a pen artist. Mr. Lindsay was a faithful and active member of the Hollidaysburg Presbyterian church since his boyhood days, and was a good, Christian gentleman, who was noted for his gentle, kindly nature, that made everyone his friend, and was true to every trust reposed in him. He was an ardent lover of Nature and especially fond of fishing and hunting, he and the writer having enjoyed many pleasant hours together in pursuit of these sports. On June 1, 1881, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Delano Carter, at her home in Hanover, N. H., by whom he is survived, with these children: Ernest C., of Hollidaysburg; Mrs. May Gesser, of Lakemont; and Mrs. Jennie Ethel Anderson, of Detroit, Mich.; also by one brother, Ulysses Grant Lindsay, and two sisters: Mrs. Edward Lotz of Hollidaysburg and Mrs. Hallie Waters of Philadelphia. His brother, Walter E. Lindsay, a prominent retired merchant of Hollidaysburg, preceded him to the grave a few months ago. The funeral arrangements have not been perfected and will be announced later. NOTES ABOUT TOWN Within the last six months, four of the famous band instruments made by C. G. Conn, Limited, Elkhart, Ind., have been purchased by Hollidaysburg musicians.

I HAD STOMACH TROUBLE FOR YEARS Would Feel Numb at Times Mrs. L. W. Vaughn, 3022 Oak Ave., Altoona, says: "For six or seven years I have suffered from stomach trouble, which caused me to have headaches, feel weak and dizzy, would rift up gas, and at times would feel sort of numb; this was especially noticeable on rising in the morning, which gave me a bad start for the day. This condition rather discouraged me for nothing seemed to do me much good. At last I began to take Sanpan and I soon started to feel better, my stomach is now in good condition, am not bothered any more with headaches, rifting of gas, and that numb feeling has passed away. Sanpan is a wonderful tonic." Sanpan is being introduced at Turner's Drug Store (Turner Drug Co.), 1116 11th Ave., Altoona. Altoona Tribune, Wednesday Morning, May 22, 1918, page 8 WEATHER DAMPENS A.H.S. ATHLETICS Strenuous Practice Today for Game with Y.M.C.A. on Thursday Weather conditions for the past few days put a damper on the outdoor training of the Maroon and White squad. However if no further rain interferes the squad will resume strenuous training for its game tomorrow at 3.30 sharp, when the newly organized Altoona Y.M.C.A. outfit is to be met in a friendly combat on the Cricket Field. The game will be well worth attending for two reasons - one is the pep displayed by the High school squad since its sudden return to form, and the second is the working of a crack college southpaw who has been corralled by Coach Aukerman of the Y nine. This self same port-sider is "Lefty" Vaughn of the Dickinson college nine which last year held the undefeated Cornell university nine to a 2 to 1 score on the Ithaca, N.Y. grounds. Vaughn will have a strong battery mate in Schmitt. Coach Sharadin is carefully grooming Harris and Bloom for the hurling duties of the local scholastic outfit.

Special electrical decorations are to be installed. City Council Moves Toward Motorization (Continued from page 1) Mr. Hinkle, after council had taken action on numerous matters, advised council that if they favored the purchase of any new fire apparatus that some action should be taken at once for the reason that it would be impossible to get a delivery under 200 days. He advised the consideration of the body of purchasing a service truck and a triple combination motor driven pumping engine. He stated that the estimated cost was $9,400 and $11,000. He stated that the fire engine at No. 3 station, built in 1868, was practically out of service; that the engine at No. 4 station, was not in good condition and that No. 1 was too heavy to be hauled over the hills. He also called attention to the condition of the big Hayes truck at No. 1 station, that the big aerial ladder recently had to be strengthened and that it was too heavy for general purposes, that it was seldom required outside of the business district and that it could be stored and used for emergency purposes. He strongly approved of the purchase of at least two pieces of equipment at once and that if possible that something be done toward buying similar pieces for the east side of the city. Commissioner Westfall stated that the city should have a properly equipped fire department, that it was now badly crippled and that something should be immediately done to bring about its betterment that it could be brought to a higher state of efficiency. He said he believed that if the condition were brought rightly to the attention of the people that they would approve of the motorization of the entire department. Mayor Rhodes stated that the city needed the triple combination pumping engine and also other equipment. Commissioner Cassidy favored motorizing the department, believing that the city would save money by the purchase of the new apparatus in the feeding of horses and other overhead charges. Commissioners Lafferty and Stevens also favored improving the city's fire fighting facilities. Mr. Hinkle was authorized to take the proper steps toward securing prices on a service truck and also the triple combination pumping engine, both to be motor driven. Mr. Hinkle was also authorized to sell four horses of the department and also the running gears of the old hose truck at No. 3 fire station recently motorized. The city manager informed council that later he wanted to take up with it the reorganization of the fire department and the shifting around of the stations to bring about greater efficiency and greater protection to the property of the people of the city.
